Experience the fun of gardening through sensory play! Your child will enjoy digging into their garden for some hands-on play, learning, and fun! This sensory activity is a great opportunity for our early preschoolers to explore planting and tending to a garden!
This can help the child begin to work independently as they learn to take care of living things and care for the environment.

Available to order!

Let's talk

Essentially is messy play.
It's an activity that allows children to work with their hands to explore materials with various textures and sensations, while creating a controlled mess. Young children are in a stage of development where they need to SEE and FEEL their world in order to understand it.

But, It’s also so much more than that!
⬇️⬇️⬇️

🔴It’s about building neural connections in the brain to learn and retain information.
🔴Building language skills as children talk about what is happening in the bin, how the textures feel, smell.
🔴Promoting child led play, as the child navigates through the bin and is able to to make choices and problem solve
🔴Sinking hands and the motion of pouring sand or rice helping to bring a sense of calmness to an anxious and/or frustrated child
🔴Practicing fine motor skills as the child uses his/her fingers to squeeze, push, pull, pour, scoop, dump, and fill.
🔴Manipulating fine motor tools, which in turn will strengthen a child's fingers when holding a pencil and scissors.
Nothing beats the power of PLAY. This is how they explore and this is essential to their development.Unfortunately, as adults we worry when we see a mess. I’m guilty of it too - so I get it! But we need to change our thinking and understand just how much the children are learning and how beneficial sensory play is to a child’s development, sensory tolerance, social skills, fine motor skills and so much more!

As a Speech-Language Pathologist I’ve learned just how essential this type of play is, and have always encouraged sensory play in my therapy sessions!

👉Going to a birthday party? Having a party? Give a Theraplay sensory kit! We can't even count the number of times people have told us what a wonderful gift it is to give to a child!

Children 💙 our kits because they are colorful, engaging, and fun. Parents love our bins because we give children the opportunity to play mindfully, creatively and best of all screen free! ✨

☀️ These Summer Beach Mini Kits are a fun way to create a beach scene at home, on a playdate, or on a summer vacation! We filled our sensory bins with items that mimic things you would find at the beach. We try to place items of different textures, colors and sizes for the most engaging sensory experience.

Because sensory bins are typically centered around a specific theme or idea, they are a great way to build vocabulary around that theme. ✨

🏊‍♀️ We love creating sensory bins that center around core vocabulary! In order for children to have repeated exposures to key vocabulary, it is important to also expose them to similar vocabulary while reading books, utilizing themed toys, puzzle, craft, and game. This allows for SO many opportunities to practice in a fun and engaging way!

Some of my favorites:

1) Seasons & Weather Puzzle Set from (Perfect to use for all 4 seasons)
2) Learn with me - Color Fun 🐠 Bowl by Learning Journey
3) Shark bite 🦈

BOOKS-
📚 How to Catch a Mermaid
📚 Lama Llama Sand & Sea
📚 Let it Shine

Focus on teaching words and how they relate to your theme.

🏖 Talk/show clothes you wear to the beach
🏖 Activities you enjoy at the beach
🏖 Foods you eat
🏖 Things you see
🏖 How beach items feel/look

For example: with the word “popsicle/ice cream:”

🍦 You could explain that it is a type of food/ dessert
🍦 That it is cold
🍦 You can eat it
🍦 It can melt
🍦 Must be kept in the freezer until you want to eat it.
